With these words, founding editor and publisher Henry R. Luce began "A Prospectus for a New Magazine," laying the foundation for what would become America's first picture magazine. From its premiere issue on November 23, 1936, LIFE Magazine fulfilled this ambitious vision with unprecedented photographic coverage - from the intimate drama of daily life to the spectacle of world events. More than 2,100 issues of LIFE have been published to date, featuring tens of thousands of images.

Your World in Pictures
Beyond the photographs printed in past, present and future issues of LIFE Magazine, The LIFE Picture Collection is home to millions of photographs, many rarely or never before seen in print.

The LIFE Picture Collection photographs are a significant part of the fabric of our lives, able to evoke deep emotion - to move us. Important moments, seminal events, special people, instants of action, humor or beauty - all captured on film. That's what you'll find on these pages: compelling and provocative images. That's what makes The LIFE Picture Collection special. And that's why you'll want to "OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY."
